Logs

[slowmotion]

As you can see from my woodshed photo I've only got birch and scots pine. I use birch with the bark on to get the fire going, and move on to a mix of pine and birch. But it's only for a couple of hours of an evening that i am actively burning something. The heat tends to stay in.

I hasten to add - the wood-burning, -chopping, etc happens at our country estate (read rudimentary holiday cottage in the middle of nowhere (which i love)). I (begrudgingly), and family live in Oslo city.

Is the Mayor of Oslo happy with this reckless behaviour? Can you sneak some logs in through the lines?

The recumbent mayor of Oslo is a happy and lovely gentlewoman who has greater concerns than mine.

I didn't mean to diss her. I'm just curious about any log burning restrictions in your city.

What an enlightened mayor you have!

TBH I'm not sure restrictions re burnings one's own logs within Oslo.

We live in what you may call a 'housing association' :- The heating, at the mo, is provided via hot water from an oil burner. This year we are drilling for geothermal. Everything should be in place for next year, i'm told. But my heart is away from the city. My heart is in the mountains and fjords.

It smells nicer than the sun, you can gaze into it, and it crackles pleasantly too. 10/10.

How do you know that?

I have absolutely no intention of getting close enough to prove my point, thank you very much indeed.

Yes, he's the northern England equivalent of that lovely Irish chap.

If you do, there'll be something wrong/something you've not been told.
